Chapter 154 Plague
No one knows about the busy farming scene in Taoyuan Village.

In Yuzhou, far to the east of Daewoo, a sudden flood occurred, and countless people were displaced overnight.

The man sitting on the dragon throne was obsessed with seeking immortality and medicine, so he handed the matter over to Prime Minister Yuan Xingrong.

This was exactly what Yuan Xingrong wanted, and most of the silver allocated for disaster relief went into the Yuan family.

After the rest were extorted from them, by the time they reached Yuzhou, there was less than five hundred taels left!

Yuzhou had a large population, and five hundred taels was not enough for even a meal of porridge.

The victims rushed into the county government office and found that the huge building was already deserted.

For a time, public resentment arose.

Floods are most likely to cause epidemics. When people don’t even have food to eat, how can they have the energy to deal with corpses?
The plague spread quickly.

……

……

When Pan Yingying learned about the plague, Taoyuan Village had just finished harvesting corn and was preparing to harvest sweet potatoes.

Since it was the first time to plant corn and we had no experience, the corn yield was not too high, but it was very gratifying.

The grain in the village granary was piled up like a mountain, and the cellars and warehouses of every household were also full.

Upon receiving the news that there was a plague in Daewoo, Pan Yingying published the news in the newspaper immediately.

Yaocheng and Ningyuan specially sent people to inquire about the situation.

After seeing the people off, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng sat on the kang, looking at each other in silence for a while.

"Are we here to experience disaster?" Yu Chaosheng sighed.

Well, first there was a drought, and everyone had finally fled here, and just when life was getting back on track, a plague came.

According to the news that came back, the plague spread at an alarming speed, and the court had no effective way to solve the problem.

We don’t even know what kind of plague it is, let alone a cure.

Pan Yingying tapped her fingers on the table unconsciously, remembering that there was another message.

"I heard that refugees from Shuzhou are coming here."

Yu Chaosheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Why are you coming to our place? Shouldn't you be going to the capital or Wu County?"

Pan Yingying lowered her eyelashes, took out the map from the space and placed it on the kang table.

She pointed out a few places.

"Wu County is now closing its gates and not accepting any disaster victims. All the disaster victims who went to the capital were killed at Shilipu outside the city."

She closed her eyes.

"The world will be in chaos."

Yu Chaosheng clenched his fists.

Sure enough, they received news again that Yuan Xingrong had rebelled on the grounds that Emperor Yuwen was incompetent and had caused the people to suffer and live in misery.

That night, Xiao Shan and Jiang Qinghe rushed to Taoyuan Village in a carriage. They came to ask Yu Chaosheng about his next plans.

"Hold your troops for now. If there are disaster victims from Shuzhou coming over, you can receive them and we will provide them with food."

Yu Chaosheng stood with his hands behind his back. There was a large map on the wall. The route from Anping County to Yaocheng was drawn extremely clearly, even down to the location of the town.

"This..." Xiao Shan hesitated. It was not that he didn't want to accept it, but Yaocheng had a bad reputation and people might not dare to come.

Yu Chaosheng glanced at him calmly, "How is the training of the Yaocheng Army going?"

Before Old Man Wang went to Yaocheng, he and Pan Yingying provided many methods to deal with troublemakers, but it is unknown how effective they were.

When he asked this question, Xiao Shan immediately smiled.

"Coach Wang is very capable. Those people were disciplined and completely docile. The current Yaocheng Army can be said to have been completely transformed."

Yu Chaosheng nodded and tapped his fingers on the table. "Recruit soldiers. Aren't there so many exiled prisoners in Yaocheng?"

Since there's nothing to do in the city, why not send them all to the army? They'll be useful someday.

Xiao Shan said "Ah?", "But... it's against the law." Jiang Qinghe rolled his eyes. If there were so many prisoners in Ningyuan, he would have sent them to the Ningyuan army without the young prince saying anything.

"What's the point of talking about laws at this time?" Jiang Qinghe took a sip of tea slowly, speaking in a leisurely tone.

Xiao Shan reacted and bowed to Chaosheng.

"My minister obeys."

Jiang Qinghe cursed "treacherous" in his heart and quickly stood up and saluted.

"My minister obeys."

……

……

After seeing them off, Yu Chaosheng quickly returned to his room.

Pan Yingying hadn't gone to bed yet. She was lying on the kang playing games with Batian.

Yu Chaosheng stepped forward and pushed his tiger son away, climbed onto the kang, hugged Pan Yingying, and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Are you scared?" His voice was muffled and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Pan Yingying raised her eyebrows in surprise. How could Yu Chaosheng, the rich second generation who is fearless, actually ask this question?
"What is there to be afraid of?" she asked.

Yu Chaosheng sat up and glared at her, thinking that this woman was really unromantic.

Pan Yingying glared back at him. This man would have a seizure from time to time, and no one knew what was wrong with him.

"Once chaos breaks out, your identity will be made public, and then countless evildoers will jump out." Yu Chaosheng lay back and leaned on her shoulder again.

Pan Yingying curled her lips as she looked at Batian, who was lying under the kang and trying to jump onto the bed.

"I will not be in danger for the time being, because you are the prince's bloodline at the moment."

Yu Chaosheng: …

I almost forgot about this one.

He is the target, and the key is that he volunteered.

"Go to sleep!" He arched his back and reached out to pull off Pan Yingying's pajamas, but was slapped on the back of his hand.

Pan Yingying pushed him away angrily, "Just go to sleep, why are you so naughty?"

She pulled the quilt over her and lay down, turning over and facing away from Yu Chaosheng.

Yu Chaosheng was not angry after being beaten. He went over to try to please the man with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh, I've taken such a big blame for you, you have to make it up to me."

Pan Yingying kicked him and didn't want to say a word.

Batian finally got the chance and jumped onto the kang, and very tactfully lay down between the two men, receiving two bangs from Yu Chaosheng.

Poor Fat Tiger was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain. Pan Yingying couldn't bear it anymore and drove the perpetrator to the sofa.

"If you dare to get on the bed, I will break your legs!" She rubbed Batian's back and took a bowl of goat milk from the space to comfort him.

Batian was so beautiful that she shook her head and cast a vigilant look at Yu Chaosheng from time to time, as if she was afraid that he would come to snatch her milk.

Yu Chaosheng was both angry and amused. He picked up his slippers and threw them at him.

Fat Tiger twisted his butt and easily avoided his attack, and did not forget to raise his head and yelled twice to complain to Pan Yingying.

Pan Yingying rolled her eyes at the man who was sent to sleep on the sofa but was still restless, then pulled the quilt over her and lay down again.

"Go to bed quickly, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Yu Chaosheng and Batian's eyes met.

Yu Chaosheng: Your mother doesn’t want you anymore!

Batian: My mother doesn’t want you anymore!
Yu Chaosheng lay down angrily. After Batian finished drinking the milk, he took the bowl aside, then tiptoed over and lay down under the kang.

It has grown up and can no longer sleep with its parents because it will crush them.
